Used light Cruzan but I'd guess Plantation 3 Star would make it really tasty.

Still like to whip it out every once in a while but for some reason I can't seem to keep Barbancourt around the house long enough to mix with it...

Food was good, drinks were fine. We sat outside (because winter is finally over); it's right across from Sloan Lake, which is nice, but Sheridan Blvd is very busy with traffic, so it almost canceled out the good. If you have the time (and don't mind me crashing your anniversary celebration), let me know and maybe I can come down and meet up at Adrift or Hidden Idol.

We'll have to hook up for a drink or seven for sure. We're seeing Stereolab at the Ogden Theatre so Hidden Idol was definitely on the itinerary, what with it being just a mile down the road. If my niece is still working at Illegal Pete's on the same block as Adrift then that is a definite as well - that's some serious sober-up factor there.

I recommend the hair of the dog ... My educated guess on the recipe ... 1 oz Gunpowder 1 oz Appleton 1/4 oz cinnamon 1 oz pineapple 1/2 oz lime 1 dash Angostura I thought it was a bit juicy and one-dimensional, so I added bitters and passion fruit syrup: 2 oz Real McCoy 5 (or any good aged Barbados rum) 3/4 oz passion fruit syrup 1/2 oz pineapple juice 1/4 oz lemon juice 1/4 oz lime juice 1 dash Angostura I later heard from William Prestwood, general manager at Pagan Idol. He agreed that syrup is the way to go, then gave us some cool history: "The name comes from the 1945 Tonga Room menu. 15ml lemon, 15ml lime, 30ml passionfruit syrup, 30ml pineapple, 60ml Real McCoy 5 (Distiller's proof if you can get it)."
